We do not know which processor is used in the Xiaomi Router AX1500 at this time, but Xiaomi says the router runs MiWiFi ROM, and it can be managed through the web interface or the Mijia app for Android or iOS. The router ships with an Ethernet cable, a power adapter, and a user manual.
At this time the Xiaomi Router AX1500 is only available outside of China through Aliexpress for $25 including shipping. But it looks like it’s not officially supported outside of China, and you can find more details about it on the official product page (in Chinese) where it is sold for 139 RMB (about $20).

No info on soc, ram, flash. Not my #1 goto solution for a router, especially if the sw is as shady as the one of other Xiaomi routers…
Let’s wait until it gets liberated
Redmi ax1800 is almost the same price.
In aliexpress there is an incredible sentence in this product description:
“OFDMA technology can complete data transmission from multiple devices at once, whether it is teaming up with friends for blackmail,…“
To make blackmail?
It should be a mistake, but what are they trying to write there?
Orthogonal frequency-division multiple access
I think the question is about the “Blackmail” part.
I can see a similar sentence in the photos on Aliexpress where they use “hack” instead of “blackmail”.
